Keep 8th eat Lance Stephenson

[Snakebites]

Hornets are not shopping the 9 pick to dump one year of Lance. We have a ton of cap space after this year (like $55M+), we'd just stretch him if we need him gone.

In other words, they aren't as stupid as our former management was.

This discussion is irrelevant. A pick at number 9 is looking to be reasonably valuable in this draft, with the potential for some pretty decent prospects to be available at that point.

I'm taking the position that at least one of our rookies will start given how bare the cupboard is in terms of forwards on this roster, unless you think we're actually landing 2 starters via free agency, a draft pick is starting.

i am assuming that Tolly is coming off the bench. I wouldn't be suprised if we still went "big" in the draft

Contract for the 9th pick. Select Porzingis or WCS with the 8th and Stanley Johnson with the 9th. With the 38th select Alexander Vezenkov. Sign Glenn Robinson III and Gerald Green as FA and we are set!

We aren't tying up cap space with Lance Stephenson. He doesn't fit this offense, he's not a consistent shooter and not a high character individual. #9 isn't enough to take that on

True. Plus I doubt CHA is trying to trade that pick since they need shooters, may could draft Hunter or Booker.
